Introduction. The article presents an analysis of the legal and information policy of the state while preserving and strengthening universal and traditional spiritual and moral values, which is a condition for maintaining statehood and strengthening the country's sovereignty, ensuring their information security. The essence of value lies not only in its social, material, moral or spiritual significance, but also in its priority for a person or society. Values determine the order of functioning of the legal system, and traditional spiritual and moral values are their variety. Universal human values, neither the place nor the time of their origin as a concept are known, are today considered as the moral language of centuries of development of world civilization. What makes them universal are their universality, historical stability, constancy, objectivity, universality, universal recognition on a global scale, and a positive connotation with recognition in the format of the general moral principles of humanity. But, unfortunately, in the conditions of globalization, secular-rational values, consumption, and non-traditional self-expression are increasingly opposed to universal human values. Nevertheless, all universal human values necessary for the peaceful coexistence of people, nations, the formation of statehood, still undergo changes along with man, and they require the necessary protection in these processes. Particular attention is focused on the task of Russian society and the state to preserve and strengthen not just any values, but specifically and only traditional Russian spiritual and moral values. They are of key importance for saving the Russian people, preserving the unity of the country, ensuring national interests, state and public security. Spirituality and morality are described in more detail in the article, which influenced the conclusion about the need to consider traditional Russian spiritual and moral values as a legal category. When considering the information security system, the authors propose a new concept: “destructive information impact” with a description of its significance within the framework of the research topic. The main directions of measures of forms and methods of protecting human and traditional Russian spiritual and moral values in the article are called ensuring confidentiality, integrity and accessibility of information. For this purpose, numerous groups of methods are used in practice: organizational, legal and technological, as well as cryptographic, technical, hardware, and software. Since in state policy the list of threats is expanded and specified as much as possible, the article contains measures to counter them. Conclusions are drawn that in Russia, when creating managerial, information, technological, and other systems for protecting various properties of its national values, it is necessary to be a “country of project assembly,” an innovative country. The key tasks in this case for the state-civilization will be: searching and inventing ideas, turning them into achievements; reforming the semantic world of Russian culture; development of new spiritual and moral guidelines. The final part of the article formulates proposals for improving the regulatory legal framework.Materials and methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was made up of both general scientific and specific scientific methods of cognition. The work actively used methods of systemic, comparative legal analysis, special philosophical and legal research tools, drawing on the results of Russian and foreign research on issues of values and value orientations, and the formation of information security systems.Results of the study. Based on the results of the analysis, the exceptional importance of universal and domestic traditional Russian spiritual and moral values was revealed, which remain moral guidelines and are passed on from generation to generation, ensuring civil unity. To preserve and strengthen them, to prevent the main threats of destructive ideologies, systematic and at the same time comprehensive work is required, including the active improvement of forms and methods of information management.Discussion and conclusion. The conclusion is substantiated that ensuring the information security of well–known and newly emerging values for Russia is the concern of many subsequent generations. The main value orientations of Russian culture remain a strong sovereign state, the quality of statehood and a united people.
